That's the way life is: meaning is always there, but there is no clearly given way of decoding it. Conventional cinema obscures this with an easy reduction of meaning to plot and schematic characters.
I always tried to raise money for the Black Panthers through business schemes.
I have always said to young artists that scholastic training and the studying of art history are crucial to fully developing as an artist.
I've followed Brenda Bowen as she's moved from Henry Holt to Scholastic to Simon and Schuster to Hyperion and to HarperCollins. I have complete confidence that Brenda always knows the right questions to ask. I'm not sure another editor would be able to do that.
I have always been someone who wants to get it right. That started when I ran for school board. It's an avocation that's become a full-time job.
I went to an all-girls school, and I always felt like I missed out on a traditional high-school life.
Back in my high school years, the Hulk was my favorite Marvel character, and I always enjoy drawing him.
I wish I still had all of my old schoolwork. I'd just have all the sketches around the schoolwork, and none of the schoolwork done. Just sketches all around. I was always doodling something.
Beethoven, Schubert, Schoenberg, Berg imply a type of pianist who is intellectual. That's not always associated with female soloists.
I love science fiction - always have.
The word 'happiness' always bothered me, partly because it was scientifically unwieldy and meant a lot of different things to different people, and also because it's subjective.
There was always pressure to make a Scientologist out of the people you were working with.
Just because you can leap off a drum kit doing a scissors kick while hitting a chord, people expect you to be an extrovert socially. But I'm not always comfortable with the idea of small talk at a party.
I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.
I've always craved winning. It's just easier in sports because there's a scoreboard.
I've always been known as a pure scorer, and I've always said if I just sat outside and shot 3s and just really focused on that - coming off of screens and spot-up 3s - and shot six or seven 3s a game, I would probably be more known as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.
I'm used to being the main goal scorer, but I also always like to help.
I've always been a scorer. So when I went to Arizona, I led the team in scoring both years.
Keeping score of old scores and scars, getting even and one-upping, always makes you less than you are.
My goal is always the same: to keep the other player from ever scoring a point. That doesn't always happen, but that's what I try for.
